Comparison of two Huffman codes:
A set of eight messages with probabilities of $0.2$, $0.15$, $0.15$, $0.1$, $0.1$, $0.1$, $0.1$, and $0.1$ are encoded into a ternary Huffman code.
One set of Huffman codewords are {$2, 01, 02, 10, 11, 12, 000, 001$} with the average length of the codeword(L) = $2$.
Another set of Huffman codewords are {$00, 01, 02, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21$} also with the average length of the codeword(L) = $2$.
I want to know which set of codewords is better. And if its dependent on the application, please provide some examples.

"I want to know which set of codewords is better" You want to think which code is better. It's mere common sense.

I know the fixed length code is better in the decoding process. But I want to know whether this the correct reason or are there any other applications where the first one is used.
